April 2017 Supportive Housing for the Elderly HUD DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT CFDA 14.157 SUPPORTIVE HOUSING FOR THE ELDERLY (SECTION 202) I. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES The objective of Supportive Housing for the Elderly is to provide Federal capital advances and project rental assistance under Section 202 of the National Housing Act of 1959 for development of housing projects serving very low-income elderly persons. II. PROGRAM PROCEDURES Section 202 funds are awarded to private nonprofit groups (sponsors) and, in some cases, forprofit limited partnerships, provided that the sole general partner is either an otherwise qualifying nonprofit or a corporation wholly owned and controlled by the nonprofit. Only a sponsor may obtain a Section 202 capital advance fund reservation, which will be transferred to an owner entity to be organized by the sponsor after award. Capital advances (direct payments) are provided to finance the construction, rehabilitation, or acquisition (with or without rehabilitation) of structures that will serve as supportive housing for very low-income elderly persons, including the frail elderly. Operating subsidies are provided for the projects to help make them affordable. The capital advance is not required to be repaid as long as the project is available to very low income elderly for 40 years. Capital advance funds will be advanced on a monthly basis during construction for work in progress; however, projects that utilize tax credits may release the capital advance upon completion of the project. Projects are expected to start construction within 18 months of the date of the fund reservation, with limited provision for extensions. Project-based rental assistance is provided under a Project Rental Assistance Contract (PRAC) and is calculated based on operating cost standards established by HUD. The initial PRAC term is 3 years. However, subsequent contracts are renewable annually for up to a 1-year term subject to the availability of funds. This program is exempt from OMB Circular A-110 (2 CFR part 215) (24 CFR section 84.2, definition of Award, and 2 CFR section 200.40, definition of Federal financial assistance ) and 2 CFR part 200, except subpart F and 2 CFR section 200.425. Financial Reporting In accordance with HUD s Uniform Financial Reporting Standards rule, annually, an owner is required to submit a financial statement, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), in the electronic format specified by HUD. The unaudited financial statement is due 2 months after the owner s fiscal year end and the audited financial statement is due 9 months after its fiscal year end (24 CFR section 5.801). The financial statement must include the financial activities of this program. Compliance Supplement 4-14.157-1

April 2017 Housing Counseling Assistance Program HUD DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT CFDA 14.169 HOUSING COUNSELING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM I. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES The objective of the Housing Counseling Assistance Program is to provide counseling and advice to tenants and homeowners, both current and prospective, with respect to property maintenance, financial management/literacy, and such other matters as may be appropriate to assist them in improving their housing conditions, meeting their financial needs, and fulfilling the responsibilities of tenancy and homeownership. II. PROGRAM PROCEDURES Funding provided by this program is intended to support Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)-approved housing counseling agencies ability to respond flexibly to the needs of residents and neighborhoods, and deliver a wide variety of housing counseling services to homebuyers, homeowners, renters, and the homeless. The program operates through a nationwide network of over 2,300 HUD-approved housing counseling agencies located in urban, suburban, and rural communities in all 50 States. In 2012, HUD established the Office of Housing Counseling, as mandated by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Pub. L. No. 111-203), which specified the functions of the new office. The Office of Housing Counseling administers the Housing Counseling Assistance Program, which is awarded annually on a competitive basis through a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). The program plays an integral role in the continued stabilization of our nation s housing market by helping individuals and families attain housing and stay in their homes through responsible homeownership or affordable rental housing. Traditionally underserved populations, such as minorities, the elderly, veterans, persons with disabilities, persons with limited English proficiency, and residents of rural areas, face additional housing and economic challenges. HUD s Housing Counseling Assistance Program funds housing counselors who provide expert, unbiased guidance and information to help families and individuals meet their housing needs and improve their financial situations. Moreover, HUD grants assist housing counselors to act as an important safeguard against scams and discrimination, and to act as a gateway to local, State, Federal and private housing assistance. This program has two distinct components: (1) HUD-approval, and (2) housing counseling grants. To participate in the program, organizations must first be approved by HUD as housing counseling agencies. Approval entails meeting various requirements relating to experience and capacity. Currently there are 2,315 active agencies participating in the program. Approximately 908 approved local housing counseling agencies (LHCAs), which have 696 branch offices. Additionally, there are 34 HUD-approved national and regional intermediaries with approximately 380 subgrantees, 77 branch subgrantees, 72 affiliates, and 58 branches. There are 25 State housing finance agencies (SHFAs) which have 8 branches, and 8 Multi-State Organizations (MSOs) which have 49 branches. Approved agencies use HUD s approval to receive referrals and market their services. Approved agencies are provided training (depending on available resources), and are eligible to apply for a housing counseling grant. The application Compliance Supplement 4-14.169-1

April 2017 Housing Counseling Assistance Program HUD and approval process to become a HUD-approved agency is provided on HUD s website at https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/housing-counseling/. Additionally, when funds are available, HUD issues a yearly Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) published on Grants.gov, under which there is a competition for housing counseling grants. The Housing Counseling Assistance Program provides funds to HUD-approved LHCAs; HUD-approved national and regional intermediaries; and State Housing Finance Agencies (SHFAs). LHCAs are funded directly by HUD to provide services within their communities. Intermediaries and SHFAs manage the use of HUD housing counseling funds by subgrantees, including local affiliates and branches. Source of Governing Requirements HUD's Housing Counseling Assistance Program is authorized by Section 106 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 (12 USC 1701x).

April 2017 Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities HUD DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT CFDA 14.181 SUPPORTIVE HOUSING FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES (SECTION 811) I. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES The objective of Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities is to expand the supply of supportive housing for very low-income persons with disabilities through (1) providing Federal capital advances under Section 811 of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act (Act) for development of housing projects serving persons with disabilities; and (2) providing rental assistance to very low-income (within 50 percent of the median income for the area) persons with disabilities residing in projects financed by the Act. II. PROGRAM PROCEDURES Capital advances (direct payments) may be used to construct, rehabilitate, or acquire structures to be used as supportive housing for persons with disabilities. HUD holds a non-amortizing mortgage on the property under the terms of the capital advance. No repayment is required, as long as the owner complies with the Regulatory Agreement with HUD to make available rental housing to very low-income persons with disabilities for at least 40 years (24 CFR section 891.170). Failure to comply with the terms of the capital advance and HUD s statutory and regulatory requirements may result in foreclosure under the mortgage. Project rental assistance is used to cover the difference between the HUD-approved operating costs of the project and the tenants contributions toward rent (24 CFR section 891.410). Project rental assistance is provided under a Project Rental Assistance Contract (PRAC) and is calculated based on operating cost standards established by HUD (24 CFR section 891.150). The owner submits monthly vouchers to HUD for payment of rental assistance. The total amount of assistance equals total HUD-approved operating expenses for the project minus the tenant payments received for all units (PRAC paragraph 2.4(f)(1)). Tenants generally are required to pay rent in accordance with a Housing Assistance Payment Contract. The owner receives assistance from HUD on vacant rental assistance units at a rate of 50 percent of Operating Expense for a unit under PRAC (PRAC paragraph 2.4(b)) for the first 60 days of vacancy, given certain conditions are met (24 CFR section 891.445). This program is exempt from OMB Circular A-110 (24 CFR 84.2, definition of Award, and 2 CFR section 200.40, definition of Federal financial assistance ) and 2 CFR part 200, except subpart F and 2 CFR section 200.425. Financial Reporting In accordance with HUD s Uniform Financial Reporting Standards rule, annually, an owner is required to submit a financial statement, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), in the electronic format specified by HUD. The unaudited financial statement is due 2 months after the owner's fiscal year end and an audited financial statement is due 9 months after its fiscal year end (24 CFR section 5.801). The financial statement must include the financial activities of this program. Compliance Supplement 4-14.181-1

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES The objective of the Section 8 project-based rental assistance programs is to aid low- and very low-income families in obtaining decent, safe, and sanitary rental housing through the provision of housing assistance payments to participating owners on behalf of eligible tenants. II. PROGRAM PROCEDURES Housing assistance payments are used to make up the difference between the approved rent due to the owner for the dwelling unit and the occupant family s required contribution toward rent. Assisted families must pay the highest of: (a) 30 percent of their monthly adjusted family income, (b) 10 percent of gross family income, or (c) the portion of welfare assistance designated for housing toward rent. This program is no longer funding new applications and awards. Under these project-based programs, the rental subsidy is tied to a specific unit; when a family moves from the unit, it has no right to continued assistance (unless the owner opts out of the Section 8 contract, in which case the individual is entitled to enhanced vouchers). The projectbased Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) contracts are administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) or State, local, or other governmental entities or instrumentalities thereof qualifying as Public Housing Agencies (PHAs). Where a PHA is the contract administrator, HUD enters into annual contributions contracts with PHAs which enter into HAP contracts with private owners. Contract Administrators are required to maintain a HAP contract register or similar record in which to record the PHA s obligation for monthly housing assistance payments. This record shall provide information as to: the name and address of the family; the name and address of the owner; dwelling unit size; the effective and expiration dates of the lease; the monthly contract rent payable to the owner; monthly rent payable by the family; and the monthly housing assistance payment. The record shall also provide data as to the date the family vacates and the number of days the unit is vacant, if any. This requirement is applicable to PHAs that are administering Housing Assistance Payments Program Projects pursuant to the provisions of Annual Contributions Contracts. It is not applicable to Section 8 projects on which HUD has executed a HAP contract directly with an owner or PHA. Compliance Supplement 4-14.182-1

April 2017 Section 8 Project-Based Cluster HUD The Moderate Rehabilitation (Mod Rehab) program (including the Single Room Occupancy (SRO) program for homeless individuals) assists low income families in affording decent, safe and sanitary housing by encouraging property owners to rehabilitate substandard housing and lease the units with rental subsidies to low income families. The PHA and the owner execute an Agreement to Enter into Housing Assistance Payments Contract under which the owner agrees to rehabilitate the unit to be subsidized and the PHA agrees to subsidize the units upon satisfactory completion of rehabilitation. Upon completion of the rehabilitation, the PHA and the owner execute a HAP contract. The PHA refers interested eligible families on its Section 8 waiting list to the owner to fill vacancies in moderate rehabilitation units. Mod Rehab program assistance is considered a project-based subsidy because the assistance is tied to specific units under an assistance contract with the owner for a specified term. A family that moves from a unit with project-based assistance does not have any right to continued assistance, except in the case of certain housing conversion actions, such as when the owner chooses to opt out of the Section 8 program. In such cases, tenants are entitled to enhanced vouchers. Under the Mod Rehab SRO program, eligible applicants are PHAs or non-profit organizations, which must contract with a PHA to administer the rental assistance. Eligible individuals must be homeless according to HUD s definition and may be located through owner outreach as well as from the PHA waiting list (24 CFR section 882.808). No single project may contain more than 100 assisted units. The SRO program is administered under an initial 10-year HAP term, with the possibility of subsequent one-year renewals. The program is administered at HUD Headquarters by the Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD). In accordance with HUD s Uniform Financial Reporting Standards rule, annually, a PHA is required to submit its financial statement, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), in the electronic format specified by HUD. The unaudited financial statement is due 2 months after the PHA s fiscal year end and the audited financial statement is due 9 months after its fiscal year end (24 CFR section 5.801). The financial statement must include the financial activities of the programs in this cluster. The US Housing Act of 1937 requires that assistance contracts signed by owners participating in the Section 8 housing assistance payments programs provide for annual adjustment in the monthly rentals for units covered by the original Section 8 HAP contract. Each year there are revised Annual Adjustment Factors (AAF) for adjustment of contract rents on assistance contract anniversaries, which are applied for those calendar months commencing after the effective date of the annual notice of the change in monthly rental. The AAF are based on a formula using data on residential rent and utilities cost changes from the most current annual Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index survey. For projects for which the original Section 8 HAP contract has been renewed under the Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 1997, Pub. L. No. 105-65, 111 Stat. 1384 (MAHRA), rent adjustments are governed by MAHRA rather than by the AAF. Technical details and requirements related to AAF are described in HUD notices H 2002-10 (Section 8 Project-Based Rent Adjustments Using the Annual Adjustment Factor (AAF)), PIH 97-57 (Operating Cost Adjustment Factors (OCAF)), and the Section 8 Renewal Guide.
